Jolene (2008) | dir. Dan Ireland
• Jessica Chastain's first film role.
• Chastain, 29 at the time, played a 16 year old.
• Chastain is charming and watchable amidst an unfocused story.
• Obsession with young beauty but I can't quite tell if it's commenting on how damaging the obsession with young women is, or actually making the situation worse.
• The film made me feel profoundly sad and frustrated, even though the character is plucky and resilient.
